I had a Plant Manager who was proud that he had not read a book since high school.  Utterly Utterly Alien.

Not to mention ignorant. I can't fathom being proud of not having done something to expand my intellect since high school!

My stepson was a bit like that, once. Whenever he was bored and I suggested he read something, he would look at me as if I'd said something unutterably stupid. "I don't want to read", he'd say indignantly. "I have to read at school!" It was seemingly all due to peer pressure though; apparently reading wasn't considered by his friends to be a "cool" thing to do.

More recently though, he's started to buy and read books; I mean serious books about science, economics, current affairs; I must say I sincerely admire him for having had the courage to break free of his peer-pressure conditioning.

Perhaps I could flatter myself a little, that my own example might have had something to do with it??

We have close to 50 ft of books.  And I have almost 100 on my Kindle.  That's not counting my daughter's bedroom which must have close to 3 ft of Disney Princess encyclopedias, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom", and "Fancy Nancy".  I was so proud of her a couple of weeks ago she brought home a book that she checked out from the library for her bedtime stories.  It was her first chapter book and she was grinning ear-to-ear.  My teenage boys have the typical Dungeons and Dragons novels (which I like too, lol) and the 'Eragon' novels.
So, luckily, the kids like to read.  Though my 17 yr old would never admit that to me  Wink... or anyone else.

I Am

A blossoming Green Witch am I,With plant wisdom and magic to share.
A child of the flowers am I,With blossoms budding from my hair.
A friend of the Fairies am I,A crown of leaves and flowers I wear.
A daughter of the Earth am I,Walking Her ways with feet ever bare.
A sister of the waters am I,Flowing wild and free without a care.
At one with the blowing winds am I,Singing softly through the midnight air.
A keeper of the fire am I,Let me kindle your passions if you dare.
Connected in Spirit with You am I,Fused together as one in prayer.
